Please move the buffs and debuffs back

It's too hard to see all those tiny buffs and debuffs all in one small corner, please bring most if not all back to the middle! Red and blues MAYBE keep above the char icon or maybe make a red blue and purple border that goes around your char icon instead cause srry riot but its too mushed up and cramped right now.

On one hand I agree, but I don't think it would be worth it for every single buff you had.

Permanent buffs like auras are something that makes more sense above the champion portrait because they aren't going away anytime soon, while stuff like stacking buffs like stacks on Nasus' Siphoning Strike stack counter or Udyr's stance-specific buff (permanent buffs while in the stance like the Bear Stun, not upon immediately activating the stance like the Bear MS boost) could also remain there.

However, anything that needs to be kept track of on a constant basis should be on the main buff bar. I played a couple games with Nautilus in the new jungle, and at one point I was confused as to why my shield was visually up when it didn't come up in my buff bar, and then I saw it in the champ portrait buff bar. That kind of buff I really need on my main buff bar, not on the little buff bar.

Yeah I know what you mean, they should at least have all the item and skills buffs in the middle, the stuff like "this unit is a flipping ninja" (I know it's gone but things like that) could be moved to the left.

Another problem I had today was I chugged a pot, didn't see the buff and chugged another one since I didn't see it.

Also while jungling, I was trying to see how long I had for my red, turns out the icon is so freaking small I can barely tell, and this is after I spend a good amount of time looking over the huge pile of buffs I had to find it. (Not to mention the buffs look somewhat similar when so small)

Plz rito

They should stop fucking around and let you move the damn HUD elements to your preference.

I would prefer all buffs that are longer than 60 seconds stay in the bottom left corner and move to the center when the timer is less than that. I want to know what buffs are expiring soon so I can make the best of them before they wear off. Most games with buff timers have this feature and I don't see why it can't be done here.

riot please listen to us. why was it even changed?

They could perhaps be bigger. But I otherwise prefer the minute-long buffs to be on the side if it means I can actually see my active item options during combat.

Move back or supply an option to move them back, they are in the worst possible place.

+1, this new change is extremely annoying and makes playing a but more difficult as others have mentioned with examples earlier.

Really annoying how even your skill passives arent centered . PLEASE

It's very frustrating with potions. It's hard to play champions. Please add an option to move them.

But obscuring highly relevant information is such good game design!

Cows Are Holy11/21/2014, 9:17:42 PM1 votes

seems like everyone wants it to be at least bigger icons, and yeah some of the important stuff got moved too.

relic shield passive is also moved so now i have to look at a tiny indicator for the CD and number of stacks (sometimes you cant see the tiny circle around you cause something is in the way)

Finally I feel the same way, I can not tell you how many times I have tried to find the option to change it back. I use those tools so much in game, and now I have to adjust, the positive side of it is that i can see my actives and what-not, but I really need to know when is teemo's poison going to where off, when is this ignite going to finish, when is the stacks from vel'koz going to wear off so i can re-engage to finish him off. All I'm asking for is some options here to change it back.summoner 14 summoner 4

Riot plz!!!

Yea I was shocked when my skill buffs from hecarim were on the left, they're really important and need to be obvious (like trying to keep a q stack from one camp to the next, sometimes you need to q when you're only in range of a small creep).
